In a significant development, Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly preparing to submit a formal offer worth £45 million for Leicester City’s talented attacker, James Maddison. There is a growing sense of confidence within the club that this priority target will soon join their ranks. The negotiation process is already well underway, with personal terms having been verbally agreed upon. Maddison is set to earn an impressive £170,000 per week, reflecting his status as a highly sought-after player.

Tottenham’s incoming head coach, Ange Postecoglou, has identified Maddison as a key transfer target during this window. The club had previously expressed their interest in signing both Maddison and his Leicester teammate Harvey Barnes. While the pursuit of Barnes may take more time, there is optimism that Maddison will choose Tottenham over other suitors, including Newcastle United, who have also been monitoring the English star throughout the transfer window.
Despite Leicester City’s challenging season at the King Power Stadium, Maddison consistently shone as a bright spark for the team. He made an impressive 19 goal contributions in 32 appearances, which earned him a well-deserved call-up to Gareth Southgate’s World Cup squad. Maddison’s consistent performances for the Foxes further solidified his reputation as a top talent in English football.

Leicester’s relegation at the end of the 2022-23 campaign has raised the possibility of high-profile departures from the club. Maddison’s potential exit is just one part of the transitional phase the Foxes are experiencing. Meanwhile, they have shown interest in acquiring Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks, who spent the previous season on loan at Sampdoria. Leicester aims to strengthen their squad under the guidance of new head coach Enzo Maresca, with aspirations of a successful promotion campaign.
While Tottenham has already made notable signings in the current transfer window, such as goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli and the permanent acquisition of Dejan Kulusevski, much attention remains fixed on the future of their talismanic striker, Harry Kane. Kane’s contract has just one year remaining, leading to speculation about his potential departure.
Manchester United has emerged as the most fervent suitor for the England captain, but their interest has been tempered by Kane’s hefty price tag and Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy’s reluctance to sell to a domestic rival. Additionally, Bayern Munich has reportedly offered £60 million for Kane, an offer he is open to discussing. However, Tottenham remains firm in their stance that Kane is not for sale.
